DURATION

2

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by

3

this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

4

order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all

5

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

8

applicable law.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party

11

or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care

12

to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.

13

The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,

14

items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,

15

documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

16

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

17

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are

18

shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to

19

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary

20

expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

21

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated

22

for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other

23

Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

24

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

25

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

26

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

27

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

& M ORING LLP

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

1

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but

2

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing

3

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a

4

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

5

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

6

margins). A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for

7

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

8

which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the

9

designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed

10

“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and

11

produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

12

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party

13

must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

14

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

15

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

16

margins).

17

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

18

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other

19

proceeding, all protected testimony.

20

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

21

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container

22

or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a

23

portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the

24

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

25

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

26

designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s

27

right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

28

designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

4

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

5

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic

6

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to

7

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the

8

original designation is disclosed.

9

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

10

process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis

11

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written

12

notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this

13

specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in

14

good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other

15

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In

16

conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality

17

designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the

18

designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,

19

to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next

20

stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or

21

establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in

22

a timely manner.

23

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
the parties shall follow the procedures in Judge Ryu's standing order

24

intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under

25

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days

26

of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer

27

process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be

28

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

for resolution of discovery disputes (Dkt. 206) via joint discovery letter

and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to

2

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable)

3

shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In

4

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any

5

time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition

6

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

7

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

8

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

file a joint letter

9

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating

10

Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose

11

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

12

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to

13

file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the

14

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

15

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

16

7.

17

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

18

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

19

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to

20

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has

21

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

22

DISPOSITION).

23

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and

24

in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

25

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

26

by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

27

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;

4

and

6

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

7

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the

8

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as

9

“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order

10

issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party

11

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material –

12

and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

13

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

14

9.

15

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION

16

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

17

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

18

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

19

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

20

additional protections.

21

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a

22

Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement

23

with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1)

24

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that

25

some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-

26

Party;

2

(3)

make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

3

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

4

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the

5

Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely

6

seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession

7

or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

8

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the

9

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

10

10.

11

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

12

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective

13

Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

14

unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the

15

Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

16

made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

17

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

18

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

19

MATERIAL

20

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

21

produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the

22

Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This

23

provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery

24

order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of

25

Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a

26

communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product

27

protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

28

submitted to the court.

MISCELLANEOUS
12.1

Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to

seek its modification by the court in the future.

4

12.2

Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective

5

Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any

6

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no

7

Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered

8

by this Protective Order.

9

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

10

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in

11

the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

12

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed

13

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at

14

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request

15

establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or

16

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected

17

Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the

18

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)

19

unless otherwise instructed by the court.

21

FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

22

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such

23

material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

24

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

25

Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must

26

submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the

27

Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all

28

the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has
